The St. Louis Anarchy promotion announced yesterday that Richards was no longer scheduled for its show on April 14.
Prestige Wrestling also announced that they are cutting ties with Richards "effective immediately."
Richards' Twitter account is currently deactivated.
According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, the companies are cutting ties with Richards due to allegations of domestic abuse. He wrote, "Many companies have terminated their association with Davey Richards due to violating their policies and code of conducts, due to allegations of domestic abuse."
He would later write, "Richards had privately denied any allegations to several who he'd been in contact with"
Richards was announced as Eddie Kingston's replacement for the OTT ScrapperMania 7 show in Dublin on Saturday. The promotion stated earlier today that as a result of Kingston testing positive for COVID-19, Richards will substitute for him in a match against Big Damo on the show.
Richards is also scheduled to face Jon Moxley at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport 9 later this month.
